Downward Spiral (Izuocha)

Chapter 5 Just a normal Sunday

Third person P.O.V.

After the One for All user had showered after his training session, he had encountered Uraraka, who insisted that him, Iida and herself should do something together, even if it was just walk around and talk as they weren't able to have the conversations they used to enjoy so much on their way back home due to Heights Alliance being initiated. Although he declined the offer as he said he wanted to study, the bubbly girl got Midoriya to subdue to her pleading as she thought it would help him cheer up, even if he had a smile plastered on his face. 

Truth was, Midoriya felt like a burden and believed that others would be better without him, especially his friends. He felt bad for being just a weight to them. On the other hand, Uraraka couldn't just forget what had happened earlier that week, the nightmare nor his new found power that could have destructive power. Neither could she forget his thoughts or the lack of a spark that his green eyes used to have. She did notice that he seemed tired, but that could have been due to his training.

Midoriya P.O.V.

"So... when and where do you want to go Uraraka?" I asked, as I knew that I would be carried by her and her quirk if she had to. "Well, maybe we could head out for lunch? That way we can walk like we used to and eat somewhere nice." Her smile still beaming, as she was clearly exited for the casual event, and I had to act as if I was too, or if not, I would become more of a burden than what I already am. "It is a great idea Uraraka. However, there may be times I cannot accompany you as I would like to visit my family from time to time during the weekends, but when that happens, I would not like to spoil your fun." Iida stated in his regular robotic manner, that earned a chuckle from Uraraka and I followed soon after.

"So I'll see you back down here in an hour. I'll be in my room, text me if something happens." I state in my normal voice, but I really wasn't up to the task. I had slept too little, again letting the voices take control over me as my pillow is now constantly damp. I couldn't get a nap as it was a small amount of time so that I could recover, and training didn't help either. I just want them to not take pity on me. I know they see me just like I do, so they should stop their act, even if I can't tell them myself.

I decided to listen to music while I lay in my bed, as I wanted to try something new. I never really did just listen to music, and I had the perfect excuse to do so, waste time, so that I could have something in common with it, being a waste. Somehow, the hour passed and I was just heading down to go with Uraraka and Iida. I was quite hungry as I didn't get breakfast due to being almost late to training, as waking up and getting out of bed was an accomplishment that morning. We agreed on where to go and decided started to walk our way there. Uraraka basically forced us before hand to each pay for their meal while we walked there, as Iida and I where overpowered by her not accepting and throwing a tantrum not nearly as bad as Kacchan's.

Uraraka P.O.V.

As we walked there, I noticed that Deku was a bit more silent and wasn't mumbling, that would normally signal his deep and intense thinking. However, he just seemed like a mindless husk that followed us and would smile and answer questions, never really laughing with me at Iida's antics like he used to do. I decided to wave my hand in front of him to snap him out of his dopey self that reminded me of Kaminari as he used to much of his quirk, minus all the 'Yay's' and thumbs up. He looked at me confused as he left his trance.

"Did you sleep well Deku?" I questioned, clearly looking for an answer that I doubted would ever come. "Yeah, just that training constantly does wear me out, especially when it is quite early." He answered, again giving a smile but softer this time as if he was being more genuine. It amazed me that someone like Deku, the stuttering nerdy cute boy he is could also be so determined and be able to deal with problems first hand like he had after Friday. He truly was inspiring, until I noticed I had been staring for a bit too long and quickly turned my head as I felt my cheeks heat up. He really was cute though, wasn't he?

"We are here, but Midoriya, take care of your sleep, it is important for a healthy body and mind to be a pro hero and attend school." Iida snapped me back into reality with that statement, who in response only received a humming sound from Deku, signaling that he had heard him. However, it was up to him if he would take his friend's advice or not. We were all signaled that it was time to head inside as we heard Deku's stomach grumble, and laughed in response to the indication from his body.

Third person P.O.V

Midoriya and Uraraka didn't eat much, as they ordered small plates while Iida decided to enjoy his lunch away from the dorms. Uraraka had done this due to her needing to save as much money as possible while Midoriya reassured that he wasn't that hungry, even though he was starving but was feeling really self conscious due to the constant voices in his head. He did tried to repress them, but everyday he failed more at doing so. Midoriya tried to act more lively on the way back to the dorms as to not worry his friends. He still didn't like that Uraraka had noticed, and she shouldn't care, as he really believed that it was out of pity, as he was just plain ol' Deku. This was just a normal Sunday in the head of most of the students, but it was a major turning point for both Midoriya and Uraraka in the future.

Heyoo. It is a bit earlier so yay, thats good (I think). That last sentence was on purpose as it will be explained later, but you'll have to wait (suspense? foreshadowing? naaa, more like I reached 1000 words) Still, remember you are loved, cherished and important. Look at the good things right now, as life is a marathon, not a sprint. Also, thank you to anyone who adds this to their reading list, it made my day just reading that in the morning. Thank you guys, and I will be seeing you again tomorrow. ( ✧≖ ͜ʖ≖)
